This was a piece of land my family donated to the people of the area in 1880 and was used until the 1940's. Its a shame that kids went up there and destroyed most of the headstones. Most of the people buried there were the First European Settlers. Its a beautiful cemetery and a part of my family history.
Direction to Eberly Cemetery
From Sioux City ( measured at the intersection of the bypass "I129" [that's interstate 129] and Hwy 20) it is a total of 6 miles to the cemetery. From Sioux City you will go East, on Hwy 20, to the intersection of Charles Ave., which goes north to D18 (which some people call old hwy. 20, which it is) this road is curvy and a little hilly. Go east and you will see it on the north side of the road. DON'T BLINK. You will miss it. It is on a hill and a curve of the road. The total from Sioux City to the cemetery is again 6 miles. After you turn onto "D18" it is only 2.8 miles. From Lawton going west on Hwy 20 turn north on Dallas Ave. then west on "D18" total from the west city limits of Lawton to the cemetery is 4 miles. After you turn on "D18" it is only 1.7 miles. If you are on the new Hwy 20 and you see a farm dealer store ( I think it was John Deere) then it is just one mile north of that dealership, but you can not get there from the dealership.
